A Poster for a Gloriously Pointless Festival
Celebrate excellent pebbles, crooked toast, or another tiny delight with a digital poster.
Time: 30–60 minutes
Use a basic drawing or slide app you already have. The festival can be imaginary and the poster does not need to be printed.
What you need
- computer
Try this idea
- Choose the small thing your festival celebrates and give the event a title.
- Open a blank page and choose two or three colors.
- Add three invented attractions, such as the Crooked Toast Parade or Competitive Crumb Naming.
- Draw or arrange one simple symbol, then make the festival title the largest text.
- Move things until the poster feels readable and save your creation.
A smaller version
Make a title-only poster with one color.
A good place to stop
A title, one attraction, and a symbol are enough for a first poster.
Make it work for you
Zoom in, use large shapes, and skip precise alignment. Dictation can help with the wording.
Another way in
Design an invitation to one tiny event rather than a whole festival.
